Dear HENTF members,

I hope this message finds you well. A major disaster declaration (DR-4754) was approved yesterday, Jan. 30, for the severe storm and flooding that impacted Maine from Dec. 17-21. Public Assistance<https://www.fema.gov/assistance/public/process> is available in 9 counties (Androscoggin, Franklin, Hancock, Oxford, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Somerset, Waldo, and Washington counties). See this map for further location and assistance details: Designated Areas | FEMA.gov<https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4754/designated-areas>.



Please reach out to your members and constituents to help gather reports of damage, identify any unmet needs, and share the following resources:



*        Cultural institutions and arts organizations affected by the storms and tornadoes can call the National Heritage Responders hotline: 202.661.8068. The National Heritage Responders, a team of trained conservators and collections care professionals administered by the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation, are available 24/7 to provide advice and guidance.

*        Members of the public who have questions about saving family heirlooms can email the National Heritage Responders at NHRpublichelpline at culturalheritage.org<mailto:NHRpublichelpline at culturalheritage.org>

*        HENTF's Save Your Family Treasures guidance is available at Save Your Family Treasures | FEMA.gov<https://www.fema.gov/disaster/recover/save-family-treasures>. Here you can find the downloadable FEMA fact sheets "After the Flood: Advice for Salvaging Damaged Family Treasures" and "Salvaging Water-Damaged Family Valuables and Heirlooms," available in multiple languages.

Please convey any damage reports or questions to  fema-hentf at fema.dhs.gov<mailto:fema-hentf at fema.dhs.gov>. I will stay in touch as disaster assistance evolves.
